The online reviews said that there was sled rentals, lots of parking, and port-a-potties. They even talked about a snack-shack that would have hot chocolate. It sounded great. On top of all of that, it was not too far away from where we were staying.
So for my review, I would say this place was okay. It was not all that great. The sled "rentals" are actually sleds for sale. They are tiny one person saucer types that cost $12. To get into the park it was another $12 and there is no reentry if you leave. There were a couple good size hills and some open space for sledding and making snowmen.
The parking was good but muddy. The road into the park was VERY bumpy. It was muddy and had a lot of pot holes. There were also no lines on the dirt field they made a parking area so many of the visitors were not good at parking. This sort of parking creative freedom resulted in tiny parking lanes and a whole bunch of door bumping. It shouldn't be that hard to park well but some people are not that good at it.
Important points to remember, get there early! There are lots of families there coming to play for a day and head back to Phoenix. A large crowd was already there when we arrived at 10:00am but the line was all the way out to the highway when we left at 1:30pm. Also, bring your own sled/sleigh. They were very expensive and I felt like it was a huge waste. I would also say bring your own snacks/drinks. The snack shack was very over priced. It would be better to grab a cheap hot chocolate at the gas station on the way through Flagstaff.
In the end, I found that the park down the street from our hotel was closer, had significantly less people, had cleaner bathrooms and best of all was free. For all of these reasons I will not go back to wing mountain snow play area. Free is always better :)
